Definitions

  • the mechanical devices for spacing human or animal tissues must allow the vision of the underlying anatomical elements, thus updating an operating field.
  • These devices for presenting previously hidden tissues are particularly useful during microsurgical operations, of the eye in particular or during functional exploration of the latter. They allow the banks of a skin incision to be kept apart, without any force other than that delivered by the said device.
  • the device described in US Pat. No. 4,037,589 gives an example. This one is very rudimentary and comprises only one metal loop whose concave ends make it possible to spread the eyelids.
  • European patent No. 0156218 describes a manual application retractor comprising adhesive means for hanging on the edge of an opening or an incision.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a spacer device for the spacing of the eyelids, which makes it possible to remedy the drawbacks mentioned above.
  • the invention relates to a device for spreading human or animal tissue, more particularly for spreading the eyelids, according to the preamble of claim 1 and as claimed in the characterizing part of claim 1.
  • the general arrangement, as presented in FIG. 1, is characterized in that the separate parts ensuring the desired aim are: the spoons 2, the ribbons 7, the arms 1, the casings 3, the axis 6, the ball joint 5 , the foot 4. All these elements are interconnected so that once glued to the temple the device maintains, by its arms, the upper and lower eyelids apart and raised, as soon as their free edge is engaged in the concavity of the spoons 2. On the other hand they are movable and articulated with the tips of the arms in order to allow the desired elevation, action still maintained by ribbons 7 resting on the external face of the spoon 2 and maintained on the operating field with adhesive. This mechanism provides the additional elevation which the surgeon might need.
  • the self-supporting nature of this device allows its use in the operating room as well as during certain functional exploration of the eye. In particular, this device allows the spacing and elevation of the eyelids even on a seated patient.
  • the device described comprises at the end of each arm 1, a housing 3 in which there is a spring 8.
  • the latter when tensioned, automatically tends to separate the eyelids or the banks from any other operating field, without the assistance of 'a second surgeon is required.
  • the operating field is thus clear of any element reducing the freedom of surgical gestures and which can make access to the tissues more difficult.
  • the device described ensures the elevation of the eyelids relative to the eyeball thanks to the articulation existing between the spoons 2 and the arms 1. This creates a palpebral circle, known as safety, pushing the eyelids away from the globe to prevent them from causing excess intraocular pressure.
  • this device has three characteristics: it is self-supporting, self-spreading, self-lifting.
  • the spoons 2 are adapted to the shape of the globe and of the eyelids, that is to say that they have the required curvatures in the frontal and horizontal anatomical plane. Of variable dimensions they adapt to all sizes globes, from newborn to adult. They have a full surface, unlike other devices, in order to hide the eyelashes which could come into contact with instruments or sutures and promote infections. On the other hand, the pressure on the eyelids is distributed more evenly, thus avoiding certain complications described with other devices, namely postoperative paralysis of the upper eyelid. They have a slot into which thin ribbons can be slipped, which will contribute to the immobility of said device. They are articulated with the arms to allow adjustment of the elevation function.
  • the ribbons 7 make it possible to adjust and maintain the desired elevation, while constituting attachment points to the operating field, thus contributing to the stability of the assembly.
  • the arms 1 allow the force released by the tensioned spring 8 included in the housing 3 to be transmitted to the spoons 2.
  • the arms 1 and the spoons 2 are articulated in the same plane.
  • the spring 8 ensures the self-spacing function.
  • the scientific article published in OPHTHAL MIC SURGERY, vol.14, page 575-578,1983, gives values making it possible to determine the force of the spring 8.
  • the axis 6 and the ball joint 5 transmit all the positions required to be able to adapt to the anatomical conditions of each patient.
  • the housing 3 can be separated from the axis 6 to allow the surgeon to expose another part of the eyeball.
  • the underside of the foot 4 is covered with a double-sided adhesive allowing the bonding to the external wall corresponding to the temple of the patient.
  • the contact surface was chosen to ensure maximum immobility.
  • This device can be manufactured in any material with biocompatible properties.
